My Fortune 3

And that's all i can do... I've got to remember that...

Warped

My atomic clock thinks it's 2048, Friday the 13th. And there is nothing i can do to change its mind.

Except to yank the life out of it and reenter reality.

If it was 2048 Friday the 13th i should be dead.

Reenter reality. What a concept. Could i learn from my atomic clock?

Unintended Perverseness

Skittishness never pays off...

I was afraid to work full-steam the frozen yogurt lever at Fresh Choice, and was dissatisfied with the outcome...

Lesson to be learned...

This was, incidentally, for my Mom. She preferred chocolate to vanilla. Who knew? Which she devoured. Freudian, anyone?

You shoulda seen how her face lit up upon learning vanilla was not the sole selection.

I, in turn, introduced her to brownie à la mode. She was an instant captive.

Those are Elsie's fingers in case you care.

i relate, i relate, i relate...

Incidentally, i said LICK... And one letter short of MOUND...

Word Play 2

This morning, while waiting for Elsie and OC in the garage, well-trained AC pointed at the logo on the hood of Elsie's 550i and read:

B... M... W!

I congratulated AC on the fine job.

"What does that spell?" Inquired AC.

On the fly, i responded:

Be... my... wolf!

AC repeated after me dubiously, and giggled. I giggled in tow.

And for the rest of the day AC would intermittently repeat the acronym and the phrase it purportedly stood for, and giggle.

I felt evil!

My first version was gonna be "Be my woman", but censored for inappropriateness. The kid is way young for forlornness yet. Let merriment reign while it does!

If you know you're sick, you're not that sick.
